| 207066 | 2004-01-13 04:12:00 | In Win9x there is something along the line of "Dial Up Server" or something - can't remember for sure. It's in the Dial Up Networking section. | somebody (208) | ||
| 207067 | 2004-01-13 04:15:00 | Hi miknz1, What type of connection is your work PC connected to on the internet and home PC, an always on connection would be best but you can also do this on dialup. There are many ways of doing this which means turning the work computer into a server of some type. A dialin server, which you can use if work computer is on dialup and you are on dialup, problem is any call made there would be considered an internet call and the work computer would pick up all calls and will send schreeching noises into your ears. A good idea to set it up if on seperate line. Basically you set it up to receive internet calls, you then make your modem dial your work, your work computer picks the call up, verifies it and then you'll be networked onto your computer, but you still have to tell it which files you want to share and have read/write access too, just like any other network. Another way if on always on connections, would be to have ftp setup on that computer, in that way you can upload files to it, and download files from it. You would might like to have a free DNS redirector so that you do not have to find out what IP address is being used if it's not a static IP address. I have never used Hyper Terminal so I am unsure of it, but I always believed this program was for communicating to your modem. I only have ideas but no answers sorry, but there's many ways of doing this. Noel Nosivad |

Want I want to be able to do is ring the work pc, connect with it and upload the files I need. Would like to be able to do this on a regular basis. Will I need any special software or are the nesacary bits installed on the o/s? Mike |
